§ 49. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Prime Minister whether on demobilisation the urgent claims of the elder married men to immediate release will be favourably considered?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. The claims of married men to early release have been recognised, and it has been provided in the scheme of demobilisation that, other conditions being equal, married men shall be selected in preference to single men for the drafts for disposal.
